<p>The LT Panel is the same fascia panel assembly which comes included with the [[LT-50]].</p>

<p>This product is an expansion panel for an LCC network, such as those created and used by the [[CS-105]] and [[LT-50]]. Use this product to expand the number of wired throttles such as the [[T-50]] you can connect to the TCS command station, or to provide an access point and/or power for other LCC devices distributed around your layout.</p>

<p>The LT Panel also includes a jack you can use to connect a Power Supply to power the LCC bus. (Not Included, except with [[LT-50]])</p>

===Included In Package===

*LT Panel board x1
*LT Panel fascia cover plate x1
*Fascia mounting screws x4
*Fascia cover plate screws x2
*Option Jumpers x3

===Physical Overview===
The LT Panel has a few notable physical features:

#Green 2-pin Track Output connector with detachable screw terminal connector
#2.5mm x 5.5mm barrel jack for Power In
#Configuration Jumpers (see details below)
#Single "LT" RJ-45 jack(for LT-50 only)
#Three "LCC" RJ-45 jacks (1x Front: For T-50; 2x Rear for LCC Bus)
#Bi-color LED for "Track On"

===Configuration Jumpers===
Refer to the table below for information on the configuration jumpers available on the LT Panel:

!Description
|-
|TERM (1)
|Insert this jumper to add termination to the LCC-CAN bus. An LCC-CAN bus should have exactly two terminators, with one at each end of the bus. 
This jumper can (optionally) provide for one of the required terminators. 

''Note: In practicality, a very short (less than 10ft or 3m) LCC-CAN bus can still work reliably with one terminator.''

|DCC/F (3 & 4)
|The LT Panel is designed to be use with a "Layout Throttle", such as an LT-50, plugged into the front facing port with the "LT" logo.[[File:DCC-F Simplified Diagram.png|thumb|300x300px|Simplified diagram showing the electrical connection for DCC/F jumpers.]]Insert these two jumpers to pass the low power DCC signals from the Layout Throttle through to the other three LCC jacks (pins 4 & 5 of the LCC-CAN standard). Remove these jumpers to disconnect the low power DCC signals provided by the Layout Throttle.
''Note: The Layout Throttle uses the [https://www.nmra.org/sites/default/files/standards/sandrp/pdf/s-9.1.2_power_station_interface.pdf NMRA S-9.1.2 Full Scale Interface]''


DCC/F is a low-power mirror of the track output from the command station (in this case, the [[LT-50]]). 

This circuit is only intended to be used to provide the signal '''from''' the LT-50 '''to''' other devices on the LCC-CAN bus. This circuit is '''not''' intended to supply signals to LCC boosters such as the B-106. This circuit '''must be disabled/open''' if another LCC device is driving the LCC-CAN pins 4 & 5 as allowed by the standard. The '''LT''' Panel is not designed to be used along with another LCC/DCC command station, such as the CS-105. In this case, an '''LCC''' Panel should be used instead.
